Installment Payment Plan (IPP)

Starting July 1, 2018, payment plans are available for indigent and eligible low-income motorists whose financial situation qualifies them under the guidelines in the Federal Register by the United States Department of Health and Human Services under the authority of paragraph (2) of Section 9902 of Title 42 of the United States Code. Qualified individuals must fall within the monthly income of 200% or less of the current poverty guidelines, and/or receive public assistance benefits.

Eligible low-income motorist may qualify for one of three available installment payment plans:

1. The General Installment Payment Plan
   
   1. Motorist may enroll at any point during the citation lifecycle.
   2. The amount due can be paid in installments over a 3-month period with a first installment of 60% of the total due, followed by two installments of 20% of the total remaining.
2. The Extended installment plan for motorist with under $500 in base fines.
3. The Extended Plus installment plan for motorist with $500 and more in base fines.

For the Extended and Extended Plus plans,

1. There is a $5 processing fee to enroll in these plans.
2. Motorist may enroll at any point during the citation lifecycle.
3. If the citations are over this time limit and the vehicle is on DMV hold, a motorist may still apply for the plans for a one-time only exception and an additional $5 late fee will be assessed.
4. There is a minimum payment of $20 per month and maximum installment of 24 months.

Installment Payment Plans do NOT cancel the fine. It simply provides some flexibility to the motorists and allows the total amount due to be paid in installments over time.

You will be required to provide detailed income information as part of your IPP request. The PVB will consider all forms of income, while determining your eligibility for the IPP.
